CENTCOM said it struck about 90 Iranian military targets along the coast, including air defences, coastal surveillance, missile and drone storage, naval capabilities and logistics sites. Iranian officials said the strikes killed a firefighter at Iranshahr airport, three people in Ahvaz and three at a fishing pier in Sirik, cut power in Chabahar, and satellite images later showed damage at the port of Sarkhur Tahruyi in Hormozgan.

Why it matters

Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran '20 to one' for each attack, and Iran's chief negotiator said Tehran would strike back and reopen Hormuz only on its own terms.
